Durations

Duration.humanize turns a Duration into text such as "1 day 2 hours" or "1d 2h 5m", with the correct plural forms in every locale. The short form uses locale-specific compact units; for Vietnamese, for example, 1 ngày 2 giờ becomes 1n 2g.

Duration.humanize

Units with a zero count are skipped, and the rest is truncated after maxUnits. largestUnit and smallestUnit limit the units used, from Unit.week down to Unit.second.

const duration = Duration(days: 1, hours: 2, minutes: 5, seconds: 9);

duration.humanize(locale: 'en');

FlutterDateFormatter.formatDuration(duration, …) is the same function as a static method.

Plural forms

Each locale has standalone (nominative) unit forms with full CLDR plural rules, checked against the Unicode CLDR data: German "5 Tage", Russian "1 минута / 2 минуты / 5 минут", Latvian "11 minūšu".
